Grannys Cottage - Malin Head

Grannys Cottage is a traditional 1 bedroom Irish thatched cottage centrally located in Malin Head. It is located just 5km from Banbas Crown – Ireland's most northerly point and also a Signature Point on the Wild Atlantic Way. The cottage is also less than 2km from the quaint harbour and beach at Portmor. Irelands most northerly pub – Farrens – overlooks the coastline at this point. Also nearby is the Seaview Tavern which serves bar food

Located along the Wild Atlantic Way

The coastline around the holiday home is dotted with hidden coves, rocky headlands and outcrops which are home to a large variety of seabirds.

What they say

Can I also take this opportunity to say how helpful and user friendly your website is - it is certainly a plus for Donegal. I became aware of it through a friend who has booked a house in Ballyliffin for a number of us attending a wedding in the area in the summer.
